Your child and their hair will thank you!) Let's get started on this faux dutch braid look for toddlers and little girls. 1. Part the hair directly down the middle from the forehead and all the way back to the nape of the neck. Work on damp hair, it'll be easier because toddler hair is so fine! 2. Section 6 ponytails on each side. My sections are 2-3" and yours may be smaller or bigger depending on your child's head. 3. With the front right ponytail, start a 3 strand braid. You'll want to braid under with each strand so that the braid stays close to the head while you are adding in hair from the ponytails. So here's how the pattern goes: right hair goes under the middle, left hair under the middle, right under the middle and so on. 4. When you have braided back to the second ponytail, you'll start adding hair. Bring your right strand under the middle and add 1/3 of the ponytail to that strand. Then bring the left strand under and add 1/3 of the ponytail to that strand. Bring the right side under one more time and add the last 1/3 of the hair. From here, you will continue a 3 strand braid until you get to the next ponytail. 5. Keep the dutch braid close to the ponytail and scalp, bringing the pieces back into the braid. Don't pull up on the braid while you are doing it, it will make your ponytails stick up. 6. Repeat step 4 until you are out of ponytails. Do a 3 strand braid all the way to the bottom and secure off with an elastic. 7. Repeat all steps on opposite side! Please give us a thumbs up and subscribe!
